The City of Dieppe offers a variety of programs and activities for residents aged 50 and over. In fact, the municipality was awarded the 2018 Age-Friendly Community certification for its efforts! This status has been renewed by the New Brunswick Department of Social Development in 2023.
Whether it is with benches on trails, raised gardens or free public transit on Wednesdays, the city has its seniors at heart.
Check our community calendar regularly for a list of activities offered.
